How to download your user data from Instagram

Android / iOS

Desktop

1. Android / iOS

At the time of this writing, Instagram has stated that it will allow users to request their data through the Android and iOS apps, but it isn’t available just yet. We will update this article when the feature is added to the mobile app.

2. Desktop

You’ll need to again input your account’s email and password before Instagram will begin compiling your user data. Within 48 hours, you should receive an email with a link that allows you to download whatever photos, videos, profile info, comments, and more.
